The Red Jacket

This morning, earlier than normal, you arose for work This was long before the coffee pot began to perk I felt you stirring, and after a while, I saw you down the hall A little later, you quietly informed me of the meaning of it all I could tell that you needed to run So I arose to see you off, and to say goodbye With my eyes, I saw your beauty and brightness You were shinning like today’s light in the morning sky I remember telling before that you look great in bright colors But today, you looked gorgeous and even a bit exceptional Had I not paused to observe and pay you a deserving compliment, I would have been undeserving of you, and worst than a common criminal I noticed that you were so stunningly dressed in red; But when I reached for you, I saw more that just red I embraced you just before you backed out of the garage Clearly that was when I saw “that something special” about you Earlier, I had glanced it just before I arose from bed When I embraced you, I saw close up the style of your hair I felt your warmth and softness like a breath of fresh air With a presence so smooth, you looked lovely and sweet to me And O my, that fitted red jacket you were wearing was a sight to see 041510 PS Contest, An Expression of Love, Frank Herrera
